It’s senior day for the Wisconsin basketball team as they take on the fifth-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini. Wisconsin is coming into this game having five days off between games. In their last game, they trounced the Northwestern Wildcats in Evanston, 68-51.

The Illini, on the other hand, are playing in their fourth game in the last eight days today. On top of that, they will be without their All-American guard, Ayo Dosunmu, who put up a triple-double against the Badgers in their last meeting.
